Correcting the previous commit, which offered a 450° rotator range for the
Rotator Genius. It cannot do it.
The evidence is the operator's own box and 4O3A's manual together. His Rotator
Configuration reads "Limits: 5 to 4" — that is where the mechanical stop sits
within ONE turn, a dead zone at four and a half degrees, not a range of travel.
The manual is unambiguous about what happens past it: "you will not be able to
give it a target beyond the limits". A 450° mast on a Rotator Genius is a 450°
mast used as a 360° one, and that limit belongs to the controller.
So the setting goes. Offering an operator a 450° option that the box can only
ever refuse is worse than not offering one — it spends their evening proving
that the software was wrong about their station.
What stays is the half that was genuinely ours: GoTo no longer clamps to 360
before sending, and the limits the Genius reports on every heading query are now
read instead of skipped over. The overlap branch is driven entirely by what the
device answers — no setting, no assumption — so a controller that one day
reports a range past 360 is driven through it without a line changing here.
